The way you're suggesting to do is fine, however, there is a custom tag out there that will take the pain (if there IS any) out of what you're doing.

Check out http://www.efflare.com/products/cfx_gfont/

The tag is called cfx_gfont. It automatically draws an image in the font of your choice from the text string you input. It's very cool.
